Chapter 792: Number One Star

The relevant auditions for Thor and Captain America were arranged at the end of June. Jason Momoa and Chris Evans were only the first candidates, not the only ones.

After all, in a superhero movie, the character makes the actor, even Iron Man to Robert Downey Jr. is no exception.

"Iron Man" has entered the post-production stage, and the post-production in charge of Industrial Light and Magic will last for a long time. It is estimated that the entire film will not be completed until March next year at the earliest.

Compared with the shooting of many fast-shooting directors, the production of special effects is not sloppy, and it is directly proportional to the time and money invested.

Embassy Pictures has announced that "Iron Man" will be released in summer next year.

In the future, Marvel Entertainment's superhero movies will be released as early as possible every summer. Ronan has an idea to turn the first weekend of each summer into a weekend carnival for Marvel superhero movies.

It's not easy, and one movie after another has to be used to influence fans' choices.

As long as "Iron Man" is a success, the Marvel superhero movie can open up the situation, and thus kick off the Avengers feature-length movie series.

If all goes well, the Marvel franchise will be Relativity Entertainment's trump card, but it won't be the only one.

Needless to say, the "Transformers" series, the second part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series will be released on Independence Day, and there will be a third part next year.

Ronan must make Johnny Depp a real-life Captain Jack Sparrow.

In addition, there are two series of movies, and Ronan is also preparing to put them on the agenda.

Lindsay Beal, who worked with David Fincher in New York, had just returned to Los Angeles when Ronan called her into the office.

"How is the filming going?" Ronan looked at the maturing female screenwriter and producer opposite, and asked, "Is it going well?"

Lindsay Bill squeezed out a smile on her delicate face: "Not as smooth as expected." She simply explained: "David Fincher has extremely strict requirements for shooting, and the heroine Rachel McAdams is okay. Other actors make mistakes all the time, and they keep reshooting."

Ronan nodded slightly: "David Fincher is the kind of director whose shooting and production speed are slow, hold your breath, the type of this film also determines that we must strive for excellence."

Lindsay Beer said: "Yes,

David Fincher is the most demanding director I have ever seen. "

Of course, the number of directors she has worked with is also limited.

Ronan was quite at ease with David Fincher, and instead asked, "How is the heroine Rachel McAdams?"

"Very good, very good, this is not just my opinion, David Fincher also commented on her in this way." Lindsay Bill thought for a while, and said: "How should I put it, this role seems to belong to her naturally, Rachel McAdams has a particularly high degree of fit with the role, which may be because the preparation work is very good, and the speculation and psychology of the role are particularly in place."

Ronan smiled: "It seems that we have chosen a good actor."

Lindsay Bill added: "I think that if the film is made well, Rachel McAdams may be able to compete for the Golden Globe or Oscar in the awards season."

"I am looking forward to this film." Ronan said: "We have done a lot of preparatory work, and the plan has lasted for more than two years. I hope it will be successful in the future."

Lindsay Bill also said: "I personally feel that this film can cause strong reactions. Ronan, don't forget, I have done field research and have a deep understanding of this industry. Now this situation is getting more and more serious. more and more common."

She sighed softly: "Girls all want to live an exquisite life, just like the filming of "Gossip Girl", they all want to be the queen of S, but the most basic thing to do this is to have Money, and it’s not the money that can be earned by doing odd jobs or being an intern, that money is not enough at all, and it can’t satisfy them.”

Ronan has experienced the era of online social networking where information dissemination is faster, and he has a general understanding of the mentality of many girls.

Although the line "I would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle" was a line specially written by the program group, it is also a true psychological portrayal of many girls.

And this portrayal is not accurate. Some girls with sufficient capital do not need to sit in a BMW and cry because they can buy a BMW themselves.

In the United Kingdom and the United States, some statistics may be exaggerated, but it can reflect that similar situations are no longer rare and are gradually developing in a common direction.

Once you experience this kind of thing for the first time, it is difficult to stop.

When you are used to making a lot of money lying down, how many people are willing to work hard to earn a salary?

What's more, there are always some licking dogs who are constantly driving up the price, causing the market to become increasingly inflated.

In the end, some girls think that they have earned enough money, pat their ass and leave, and start a new life in another place. Anyway, the world is so big, and they can always find a suitable place. In addition, their own conditions are good. As long as they are willing to lower their requirements, they can also find a place to take over people.

"I feel sad when I have more contacts." Lindsay-Bill said again: "Even if they go to seduce rich people, it's better than this situation."

Ronan shrugged, not knowing how to respond.

Lindsay Bill smiled embarrassedly and said, "I know this is unrealistic, because rich people never lack beautiful women."

Ronan couldn't help laughing: "You see it very clearly."

Lindsay Bill turned to ask: "Call me before, are you going to adapt those two series of novels?"

Ronan didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "You have always been in charge of "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games", and I plan to hand over the work of film adaptation to you."

Lindsay-Bill immediately said: "Leave it to me! "Gossip Girl" has been completed, just waiting to be played online with Netflix streaming media, and the work of the "girl" crew is not very busy. The filming is completely done by David - Finch is in charge, I am more of a coordinator, and I have enough energy to take care of the early planning of these two projects."

Ronan corrected: "The two projects will not be going on at the same time. I plan to adapt the "Twilight" series first, and then the "Hunger Games" series."

"No problem." Lindsay Beer knew that these two series would definitely be on the big screen, and she was mentally prepared: "I already have some ideas about adapting the script."

Ronan said: "You take the time to finish the first draft of the script this year, and write it according to the main line of the novel. We will strive to be successful in the first part, so as to bring the whole series to the big screen."

Lindsay - Bill said: "Okay. After I finish the first draft of the script, we will discuss the specifics."

Ronan nodded lightly: "Yes." He also warned: "The budget for a single production of the series will not be very high, try to limit it to less than 40 million US dollars, so pay more attention to control the big scenes that cost more."

Lindsay Beal said: "I understand that the focus of this series is not on the big scenes."

For Lindsay-Bill, Ronan was quite at ease, and explained to her some other precautions, ending the meeting.

Lindsay Bill will not stay longer in Los Angeles. After a short rest for a few days, she will rush to New Jersey to join David Fincher's crew and continue as a producer to coordinate the crew's shooting.

In the afternoon, Ronan went to Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio.

After the huge success of "Despicable Me," production is ramping up on the big "Minions" movie and "Kung Fu Panda."

"After the completion of "Minions", the relevant team will immediately transfer to the production of the second part of "Despicable Me."

In the office, Chris Leonard was full of confidence: "We have already explored the successful experience and model. Following this rule, we are confident that the next few animated feature films will be recognized by the market."

Ronan said: "Don't underestimate the market, and pay attention to collecting audience feedback on "Despicable Me" in a timely manner."

Chris Leonard said: "We have a professional team in charge of this work."

"Very good." Ronan always paid attention to market dynamics.

Since the establishment of Relativity Entertainment, the survey feedback on various market information has never stopped. After all, movies are deeply affected by social reality.

Chris Renard said at this time: "Currently the new team has been prepared, adopting the model of using the old to bring the new, and I am going to start the third project, your idea about primitive man and mountain building."

Ronan thought for a while, and said: "Yes." But he still urged: "Chris, the animation studio should expand moderately, and the development should not be too fast and too fast. It must lay a solid foundation. At present, don't start more than three animation studios at the same time. movie project."

Speaking of this, Ronan reminded emphatically: "Don't forget, you still have the "Peppa Pig" project."

When it comes to the revenue of a single animation project, "Peppa Pig" is definitely the number one star project of Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio. In the first quarter of this year, the revenue of all aspects has reached 150 million US dollars, and the total revenue for the whole year is expected will exceed $500 million.

This is the real cash cow.

Chris Leonard is very clear-headed: ""Peppa Pig" has always been our number one key project, and the new season of animation is about to be completed, and it will be broadcast on TV at the end of this month."

Ronan nodded slightly: "This little pink pig is already Relativity Entertainment's biggest single income star."

Whether it is Jason Bourne or Captain Jack Sparrow, the profits they can create will all be inferior to Piggy Page.

In addition to the operation of financial capital, Walt Disney has been able to stand still for decades and become the only company in Hollywood that has transformed into a media group. In addition to the operation of financial capital, it is also a reason why it owns many animation copyrights.

Unfortunately, this is the lifeblood of Disney. Unless Disney is acquired as a whole, it is basically impossible to obtain the copyright of these animations.

After the start of the new week, the gossip about the love triangle has become more and more fierce, and the famous dog and man movie is about to be released.
